K. Narkunan et Rs. Liu, AN EFFICIENT METHOD FOR TOTAL SYNTHESES OF AVENACIOLIDE AND ISOAVENACIOLIDE VIA TUNGSTEN-PI-ALLYL COMPLEXES, Chemical communications, (15), 1998, pp. 1521-1522
Total syntheses of avenaciolide and isoavenaciolide were achieved in s
ix and three steps respectively based on starting chloropropargyl deri
vatives; the key step in such syntheses involves intramolecular alkoxy
carbonylation of tungsten-eta(1)-propargyl complexes.
